On March 24 2018, NJPW’s LA Dojo celebrates its 5th Anniversary. With the likes of Clark Connors, Kevin Knight and more starting their NJPW journeys in the Dojo, while Ren Narita and Yuya Uemura have found themselves progressing under the tutelage of Katsuyori Shibata there, the full time, immersive training environment of the LA Dojo has firmly established itself as the premier site of talent development in the United States.
At the same time, individual training seminars in the LA Dojo led by the likes of KUSHIDA and Rocky Romero have seen wrestlers with some match experience share ideas and further their prospects, creating unique learning experiences and further fostering talent in order to advance the wrestling space as a whole.
NJPW Academy will see the next step in the evolution of LA Dojo. The Academy offers twice weekly classes that present attendees with a 24 session curriculum at an affordable rate.

Comment from NJPW Academy coach Fred Rosser
For me as a coach, I’m not looking to break you, I’m looking to make you. Here you get to train in a sanctioned NJPW ring, and my promise to you is that I’ll give it my all to make sure you’re polished, seasoned, and ready, either to get looked at by NJPW, or anywhere else, or even just to continue wrestling as a hobby. There’s room for everybody at the finish line, and I’ll be working to help you get there.
Comment from NJPW Academy Coach KUSHIDA
The young guys that will come out of the Academy with their diplomas are going to be perfectly equipped, whether as a full time Young Lion looking to make a mark in Japan, or in other promotions in America, Mexico and Europe. This is a huge positive for LA Dojo and a project that is completely full of potential.
